Deep68 Posted December 28, 2013 #1 Share Posted December 28, 2013 What time would you recommend boarding the Jewel to miss the crowds in New Orleans? Also where is the quietest place to dine on embarkation? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mitsugirly Posted December 28, 2013 #2 Share Posted December 28, 2013 We cruised Jewel last week and were there at 11:30am and walked right in. There were basically no lines. We checked our luggage in, walked up to the latitudes counter and checked in and immediately went to the ship. It was awesome. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger001 Posted December 28, 2013 #3 Share Posted December 28, 2013 We try to start a cruise as early as possible. We arrive at the port usually 10:30 if we can. Might have a small line waiting to begin processing. But once it begins, you are through super fast, sit in the waiting area until boarding begins, usually 11:30ish. Then on the ship. The main dining room is usually open for lunch at noon. It is never crowded if you prefer that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvsullivan Posted December 28, 2013 #4 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Two weeks ago we arrived at 10:30, checked in at 10:45 and boarded about 11:15. We ate at Cagney's, but one of the MDR's is open for a few hours. That's the place to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ate at Cagney's, but one of the MDR's is open for a few hours. That's the place to go. if you are in a suite, then dine at Cagneys. If not, and you want a quiet lunch, do the open dining room. This is usually the MDR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medicalma'am Posted December 28, 2013 #6 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I think we arrived around noon last week without much of a wait. The main dining room is the place to go for quiet if you are not in a suite. If you don't like the typical European paced meal, you can go to the Garden Cafe and find a lace to sit in the Great Outdoors or keep walking to the right and eat in Mama's Kitchen (the Italian restaurant).

ahaught Posted December 30, 2013 #8 Share Posted December 30, 2013 We arrived at 10:45, checked in, boarded and had purchased soda cards and were at the MDR waiting for it to open by 11:30ish. The MDR doesn't open until noon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
